Platform Lifts in Corsham
OnLevel — the UK's fastest,
lowest-disruption lift solution
Corsham grew on Bath stone, both the honey-coloured blocks above ground and the vast quarries and MoD tunnels hollowed out beneath the town. Corsham Court, long the home of the Methuen family, still anchors the place, the celebrated town peacocks wander the High Street, and rows of Flemish weavers' cottages recall an earlier trade. The town's mellow streets even stood in for old Truro in Poldark. Whether you live in a stone-built weaver's cottage near the Court, a townhouse on Pickwick Road, or a newer home towards Rudloe, OnLevel provides professional lift installation tailored to your property. Many of these historic Corsham houses keep steep, narrow staircases that grow harder to use with age.
We install home lifts, commercial platform lifts, wheelchair lifts and through-floor lifts across Corsham — including Chippenham, Box, Lacock, Neston and Pickwick. Every installation is handled by our own SafeContractor accredited engineers (CN8516), usually within three to five days.
Residential & Commercial
Platform lift solutions for every building in Corsham
Residential
Home Lift Installation
Corsham's homes range from the Flemish weavers' cottages and Bath-stone townhouses around the High Street and Church Street to later villas on Pickwick Road and modern developments out towards Rudloe and Gastard. In the older stone houses the staircases are often steep and confined, which becomes a barrier for an ageing parent, someone recovering from surgery, or anyone living with a long-term mobility condition. Installing a home lift from OnLevel lets you keep your home rather than downsizing to a bungalow. The lift needs no machine room and only a shallow 150mm pit, and it can be finished to match your room, from a fully glazed car to discreet solid panels. Even in a tightly built Corsham cottage the work is usually finished within a few days.

Commercial Platform Lift
The High Street shops, Corsham Court's visitor areas, the town's surgeries, cafes and the businesses around the historic centre all have a duty under the Equality Act 2010 to make their premises reasonably accessible. For clean two-storey access the practical solution is an OnLevel platform lift. We work with retailers, offices, hotels and hospitality businesses throughout Corsham, alongside GP and private clinics, care and nursing homes that rely on consistent access between floors. Every job opens with an on-site survey and a written quotation, so the scope and cost are clear before any work is carried out. Our lifts comply with Part M of the Building Regulations, BS 6440:2023 and BS 8300:2018.
Commercial platform lifts in WiltshireThrough Floor
Through Floor Home Lifts
A through-floor lift rises through a neat opening in the ceiling to the room above, removing any need for a separate shaft. In a Corsham property we finish the upper aperture and surround so it blends quietly into the existing decor. Most installations take three to five days. The lift is delivered factory-built, the floor surround is matched to your existing flooring, and because the work stays so contained your home keeps running normally while the lift goes in.

Wheelchair & DDA Access
A wheelchair platform lift provides step-free access at home or in business premises across Corsham, Chippenham, Box, Lacock, Neston and Pickwick. We install vertical platform lifts for full-storey level changes and short-rise step lifts for single steps and split-level thresholds. All of our wheelchair lifts are DDA compliant and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

At home in any space
Built for Corsham's most
demanding buildings
From heritage conversions and listed properties to modern new builds, the OnLevel lift slots in where traditional lifts cannot go. The 150mm pit depth, self-supporting structure and bolt-together installation mean it can be retrofitted into existing buildings without major structural work — so you keep the character of the space and still deliver compliant, dignified access.
Whether the setting is a converted warehouse, a period townhouse, or a brand-new commercial fit-out, the lift becomes part of the architecture — not a compromise added after the fact.

FAQs
Platform lift questions for Corsham
How much does a home lift cost in Corsham?
The cost of a home lift in Corsham depends on how many floors it serves, the finish you choose and any structural work the property requires. A standard two-storey installation usually costs much less than an extension or moving to a bungalow. We provide a fixed written quotation after a free survey, so the figure quoted is the figure you pay, with no hidden extras.
Do I need planning permission for a platform lift in Corsham?
In most cases, no. Home and through-floor lifts are fitted inside the property, so planning permission is seldom needed in Corsham. Listed buildings around the High Street and Corsham Court conservation area can differ, and external lifts may require consent. We assess this at the survey and tell you clearly whether any approval from Wiltshire Council will be needed.
How long does it take to install a lift in Corsham?
Most lifts in Corsham are installed within three to five days. The lift arrives factory-built, which keeps the time on site short and tidy. We agree a fixed start date with you beforehand, protect floors and walkways as we work, and leave the property clean once the lift is tested, certified and signed off.
Can a platform lift be fitted in a Flemish weaver's cottage in Corsham?
Yes. The old weavers' cottages near the High Street are compact stone homes, and our lifts are designed precisely for tight spaces like these. They need only a shallow 150mm pit and no machine room, so they fit beside the existing stairs without major structural change. We confirm the best position and finish during the survey.
Is a platform lift better than a stairlift?
For many Corsham residents, yes. A stairlift only carries a seated person up the staircase, whereas a platform lift moves a user and their wheelchair together between floors. It also keeps the stairs clear for everyone else in the home and is usually more comfortable for anyone with greater mobility needs.
Do you service lifts after installation in Corsham?
Yes. We service and maintain every lift we install across Corsham, Box, Lacock and out towards Neston and Pickwick. Regular servicing keeps your lift safe, reliable and compliant with current standards. Our own engineers carry out each visit, and we offer planned maintenance agreements so the work is scheduled rather than left to memory.
How much space does a home lift need in a Corsham property?
Less than people usually expect. A typical OnLevel home lift takes up about the footprint of a small armchair and needs only a shallow 150mm pit, with no machine room required. That makes it feasible even in the snug stone cottages around the town centre. During the survey we identify the best location to keep disruption low.
Are your installation engineers accredited?
Yes. We are SafeContractor accredited (CN8516) and our lifts meet EN 81-41, Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. We use our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, so the engineers who survey your Corsham property are the ones who install the lift. Every installation is tested, certified and signed off before handover.
